    Poor Wireless Connection

    I have my USB wireless dongle on a 3' USB extension cable with a base. I built the aluminum foil dish, and after a bit of maneuvering (about 2" behind the dongle, and pointing it around to get the best signal) my connection percentage jumped from 55% to 90%! I hope this helps others.
